    I do not think it is wrong to worship Shiva!

     

    Shiva has approx 84% [86%?] of same potencies as the Supreme Personality of Godhead Sri Narayan/Vishnu/Krishna.

     

    ***You may worship any one or anything and make an idol of any ista-deva or Pop-culture-Icon, but, it will not yield moksha/mukti/liberation/salvation/deliverance to the 'Kingdom of God'.

     

    What ever attributes you may apply to Lord Shiva's Mystic Opulences, I remind you that all Residences of Vaikuntha are worshipable too.

     

    For example, Sudhama, Krishna's childhood Gopa friend in the transcendental cowherd village of Vraja-Vrindavana-Goloka-Dhama is lightyears beyond all the Devas.

     

    Yet you purport to say that a Devata is the aim of the MYSTERY OF LIFE.

     

    You must keep you faith as it is regardless of nay sayers for we are encouraged by Krishna's many re-assuring words***:

     

    ***This is what Krishna refers to when Krishna speaks in the Gita 3.26:

    "So as not to disrupt the minds of ignorant men attached to the fruitive results of prescribed duties, a learned person should not induce them to stop work. Rather, by working in the spirit of devotion, he should engage them in all sorts of activities [for the gradual development of Krishna Consciousness]".

     

    and,

     

    Gita 3.29:

    "Bewildered by the modes of material nature, the ignorant fully engage themselves in material activities and become attached. But the wise should not unsettle them, although these duties are inferior due to the performers’ lack of knowledge."

    ...............................................................................

    These verses are Krishna's Teachings as to those who do not yet know the conclusion of the Vedas, 'Devotion to the Supreme Personality of Godhead Sri Narayan/Vishnu/Krishna'

     

    ....................................................................

    Again I repeat, that the Devas are an extended family-tree

    delineated in The Srimad-Bhagavatam, and,

    that once that Family-tree is charted-out,

    all the Puaranas, etc., can be hung like Christmas-tree Decorations,

    thus, plotting the chronological order of the appearence of the names of the Family-tree Personalities and, ipso facto,

    the order in which each Purana debuts

    in the time-line of history

    that started with Brahma's

    Birth & each of Brahma's Daily awakenings.

    Where in the Gita does Sri Krishna say, "If you worship Shiva, you don't get Moksha." ???


  2.  

    I've never said that it's wrong in Worshipping Shiva.

    I do it myself every Monday at the nearest Shivalaya from my place.

     

    I was refering about the Supremacy.

     

    But you should ask, what I demand at Lord Shivas Lotus Feet?

    You said that Bhaktajan was right in his opinions and ramblings. Bhaktajan thinks it's wrong to worship Shiva and that you can't express bhakti to Shiva. Don't say you agree with someone if you don't know what they're actually saying.


  3.  

    Sri Ram came hear to set examplary acts as a Human Being, consequently he had to adhere with the Vedic Rules and give respect to all the entities according to his\her status.

     

    Valmiki, Vishwamitra, Janaka, Dashrath... all knew about His Supremacy... but when Sri Ram offered respect to them, they simply smiled and felt themselves blessed knowing to what extent the Supreme can love his Devotees.

    Why, if it is wrong to worship Lord Shiva, did Lord Rama set the example by doing so? He is the embodiment of Dharma. Why would He do something so "adharmic"?


  4.  

    Bhaktajan has spoken the Truth, anything other than Hari is endless rambling.

    What truth has he spoken? And, what is your proof that it is truth?

    He says that Shaivas and Shaktas are not bhaktas and equates their devotion to Shiva with that of a whore's devotion to sex and drugs. He says that any god other than Krishna is a demigod and the only reason why people worship them is because they are selfish. Surely you don't believe such dribble?

    OM TAT SAT VISHNUH PARAMAM PADAM (Rig Veda)

     

    This sloka of Rig Veda cleary tell us that Vishnu is the supreme.Only by reaching to Vaikunth Dham we can get eternal bliss.The same is confirmed in Gita also.

    How does this negate the idea that one can reach eternal bliss from bhakti to Lord Shiva and attaining Him?

     

    Vaishnavanaam Yatha Shambhu (Srimad Bhagavat Mahapurana)

     

    In this sloka VedVyas confirmed Lord Shiva to be supreme devotee.Lord Shiva is always immersed in Narayana Bhakti.

    And Lord Sri Rama worshipped Lord Shiva. He is immersed in Shiva Bhakti. I'm not seeing how this proves anything. Vishnu worships Shiva, Shiva worships Vishnu. That doesn't make either one of them a demigod.

    Modern thinkers claim that some insects, monads, etc don't have a heart.

    In Bhagavad-gita Krsna says, I am seated in everyone's heart.

    Could be that there're different types of hearts which we humans can't perceive?

     

     

     

    Pusta Krsna: Some of the insects don’t even have hearts.

    Prabhupada: And how do you say? They have everything. You have no intelligence to understand. Everything, all anatomic physiology is there, even the small full stop. You cannot see even, microbe. That is God’s creation.

    Pusta Krsna: You mean to say…

    Prabhupada: I have seen very minute, walking very…, exactly like a big…

    Guru-krpa: In Vṛndāvana, when we were staying at Bon’s place, there was big colony of ants. Ants, thousands of them.

    Prabhupada: Yes, they have got all the sense, all the sympathy. For eating, sleeping, mating, they have got all intelligence.

    Pusta Krsna: What I mean to say is, physiologically speaking, at least from biological viewpoint, some of these creatures don’t even have hearts. They’re much easier to manufacture, the parts of their bodies.

    Prabhupada: You say there is no heart just like you say no soul. That is your vers…. I say that “When he is doing everything like a human being he has got everything.” It is your insufficient knowledge that you say that…. Just like you say there is no soul. But that is your insufficient knowledge. That’s not the fact. Kṛṣṇa says, īśvaraḥ sarva-bhūtānāṁ hṛd-deśe ’rjuna [Bg. 18.61]. When Īśvara is in everyone’s heart, how you can…. Hṛd-deśe. How you say there is no heart? That is nonsense, another nonsense.

    Pusta Krsna: So this is speaking of the material heart.

    Prabhupada: Material, spiritual, you do not know anything. You don’t talk. Better you become silent.

    Pusta Krsna: (laughs) Hare Kṛṣṇa.

    Prabhupada: Kṛṣṇa said, sarva-bhūtānāṁ hṛd-deśe, specifically said, “within the heart.” The…. Even a germlike, what is called, atom, less than atom, there is heart. Otherwise how Kṛṣṇa says, hṛd-deśe?

    Pusta Krsna: Sarva-bhūtānāṁ hṛd-deśe. Every living entity.

    Prabhupada: Eh? And you say there is no…. You are our student. You are saying there is no heart. That means you do not carefully read.

    Pusta Krsna: No, that’s there, but is that the heart of the soul or the heart of the gross material body?

    Prabhupada: Then…. Heart there is, as you have got heart. What you are? The same constitution.

    Harisauri: In the Kaṭha Upaniṣad it describes how they’re sitting side by side.

    Prabhupada: The same constitution of the body. Otherwise there is no question of heart.

    Pusta Krsna: You’ve just challenged the whole field of biology also.

    Prabhupada: Then what is the…. I say they’re nonsense, rascals. They say that there is no…. And what is their knowledge? We don’t give any value to their knowledge. Kṛṣṇa says clearly, hṛd-deśe ’rjuna. And this body is just like a yantra, machine. So as machine means, moving machine means it must have wheel, it must have sitting place…. Everything is there, machine.

    Pusta Krsna: That would mean that even the plants and trees also have a heart.

    Prabhupada: Everything. That is proved scientifically. Sir Jagadish Chandra Bose has proved. There is a part(?). What is that? Spi…? Begins the word, the machine, the record?

    Devotee (2): Spirograph.

    Prabhupada: Yes, the word begins with s. Spirograph or like that. You do not know? They smear with black, what is called, carbon, and the fine…

    Devotee 2: Cardiograph.

    Prabhupada: Cardiograph, like that.

    Pusta Krsna: Cardiograph.

    Prabhupada: Yes.

    Pusta Krsna: Sensation.

    Prabhupada: No, no, the machine is called some special name.

    Harisauri: The same idea as cardiograph.

    Pusta Krsna: Spectograph?

    Prabhupada: Spectograph, yes.

    Pusta Krsna: Has to do with light?

    Prabhupada: Whatever it may be, it records how it is moving, how it is going up and down. So that has been proved. The machine is hanged in the tree, and the tree is cut, and immediately makes a mark. Sir Jagadish Chandra Bose has discovered the machine.

     

     

    Room Conversation

    with His Divine Grace A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupāda

    April 20, 1976, Melbourne

    This is silly. When Krishna says He is seated in everyone's heart, He means that He is seated in everyone's soul. In the place where love and compassion come from. He doesn't mean, "There's a little incarnation of me with a little condo living inside of your heart which is located toward the left-side of your chest." Please :rolleyes:

    Why is it that women who are abused can not have a respectful disagreement? They get very uncomfortable and agressive, disrespectful. My mom for example is always ready to fight with me, and is not very nice to me. its not even nessicarily the things she says. she is a drug addict and i think no matter who it is she takes this bad energy out on anyone whos around. so i shouldnt take this part personally. but it seems like to talk with women about their problems who have been abused they get edgy and very defensive instead of listening. How to solve this?

    Did you ever think that it's because they've had to act that way in order to survive? Maybe you could try to be empathetic to her situation, and, if she is drug-addicted, do an intervention and get her in rehab and counseling?


  8.  

    Bhaktajan, why haven't you responded to the point I made through Radha Sahasranam? --Because it is subversive propaganda, and , nothing more.

    How so? Can you explain, or are you just making a baseless accusation because you don't know how to rebut the evidence I've provided for you from your own religious tradition?

     

    Isn't it obvious that Parvati and Saraswati are none other than Radha Herself? --No. Why would you ask?

    How is it not obvious? Her names are those of Saraswati and Parvati. Do you have a different interpretation of names like Brahma-Patni, Kailasha Vaisini, Shiva Bhakta, Shiva Bhakti Daa, Shiva Shakti Swarupa, Nava Durgika, Shambu Kanta, and the many other names that identify Her with Saraswati and Parvati? It appears as if you have no other interpretation for the names of your own goddess, so why not accept the obvious one (that She incarnates as Saraswati and Parvati)?

     

    And, if Radha is Parvati and Saraswati (as is evidenced in Her sahasranam), then Krishna is none other than Shiva and Brahma. --Bugger off, Pratt!

     

    Aww, poor baby Bhaktajan doesn't know what to do! He can't even offer a decent rebuttal! :D

     

    Oh, and, do you still refuse to acknowledge Shaivas as Bhaktas? --Yes, I still refuse to acknowledge Shaivas as Bhaktas. Why would you ask?

    Well, then I guess Radhika (who is both Shiva Bhakta and Shiva Bhakti Daa) isn't a Bhakta. :rolleyes:

     

    Well, then I guess you don't consider the very embodiment of Bhakti Herself, Radharani, a Bhakta, --What? Huh? Why would you ask? ask ... ask ...? If there is some truth to be enlightened to --it would have been duly registered in my Brain.

    Take my advise and surrender to a Vaishnava . . . you know what I mean? --Instead of asking me to surrender to you!

    LOL! I love it that you can't offer a real rubuttal. All you can do is ask me to surrender to you [not Krishna] with no given reason (other than that you can't admit defeat). You are SO humble, Oh great saint Bhaktajan! :D


  9.  

    But really Bhaktajan prabhuji, I don't understand much of what you say. I think it is because I am too fallen. Your words are so high for me, that to me it seems like a bunch of funny jokes. I am too fallen to understand the rahasya of your madhura vani, your sweet words of the highest spiritual truths.

    I think perhaps with me you need to take some time and explain things to me, because I am very dumb in spiritual life. :(

    Indulekha Ji, I think you understand a lot more than you think. Bhaktajan just doesn't make much sense.


  10. Bhaktajan, why haven't you responded to the point I made through Radha Sahasranam? Isn't it obvious that Parvati and Saraswati are none other than Radha Herself? And, if Radha is Parvati and Saraswati (as is evidenced in Her sahasranam), then Krishna is none other than Shiva and Brahma.

    Oh, and, do you still refuse to acknowledge Shaivas as Bhaktas? Well, then I guess you don't consider the very embodiment of Bhakti Herself, Radharani, a Bhakta, since She is both Shiva Bhakta (a devotee of Lord Shiva) and Shiva Bhakti Daa (the giver of devotion to Lord Shiva).


  11.  

    Hare Krishna actually stands for Hari and Krishna, Hare is not the name of Laxmi as Srila Prabhupada wrote somewhere in his books. It's the vocative of Hari.

    In Radha Sahasranama, one of Her names is 'Sri Hara'. Therefore, 'Hare' can either be the invocative of 'Hari' [Krishna] or 'Hara' [Radha], depending on who you wish to call on.

     

    sarva mangala mangalye shive sarvartha saadhike

    sharanye trayambake gauri narayani namostute, swahah

    durga saptashati

     

    I often chant this mantra :) Thx for putting it out there!


  12.  

    That's good, RadheyRadhey108. I mentioned it to prevent people from using quotes from their own acharyas to support their own arguments. But if you want to point something out in a scripture in which your opponent or your opponent's Acharya has faith, that's fine. The Radha Sahasranama is from the Narada Pancharatna, if I am right?

    Yea, it is from the Narada Pancharatna :)

     

    You made a very good point. In Shakta worship there is no debate on the same Shakti, ParaBrahma taking different forms. Like Maha Laxmi, Maha Saraswati and Maha Kali. Or like the nine forms of Durga and the dasha Maha Vidyaas. Furthermore, even the male devatas like brahma, rudra, vishnu, varuna etc are forms of Durga according the Devi Sukta from the Rigveda.

    Yes, this is very true. All the Devis are but forms of Jagadambe (or, such is my understanding).

     

    In the Brahmaanda Purana it is mentioned how all the gods sactificed their own body the sacred fire and later reappeared from the body of Lalita Devi. In the Markandeya Purana it is mentioned how a divine glow appeared from the all the devatas. That divine glow took the form of Durga. The essence of these stories is that there is one Brahman who takes many forms.

    Yes, this is true :) I'm glad you brought it up. In the Devi Mahatmyam, it also devotes a capter to the birth of Durga Devi from the bodies of the Devas and Devis.


  13. I'm sorry if I'm going off into other scriptures here, dearest Radha Mukunda, but I would like to point out ot Bhaktajan that, in the Radha Sahasranama (which is held to be especially sacred to Gaudiya Vaishnavas), Radhika is revealed to be the same Goddess as Parvati and Saraswati. Saraswati is just as divine as Radhika, and so is Parvati.

     

    Bhaktajan, I beg you to please actually take the time to realize the truth that Radhika reveals to you through Her holy names. Here are a few of them from Her Sahasranam:

     

    Brahmä's wife (brahma-patné), Goddess Sarasvaté (sarasvaté), the beautiful wife of Lord Çiva (çambhu-käntä and sadäçiva-manoharä), the wife of Lord Çiva (çivä and durgä), and the wife of Lord Çiva who destroyed Kämadeva's body (kämäìga-häriëé), Goddess Pärvaté (himälaya-sutä, sarvä, pärvaté, girijä, and saté), She is Dakña's daughter (dakña-kanyä), Goddess Pärvaté (haimavaté), she who is dear to Çiva, Brahmä, and Viñëu (çiva-brahma-hari-priyä), Lord Çiva's wife (çaçi-çekharä), She is Goddess Durgä (anna-pürëä), mother of the universe (jagad-ambikä), She is the Goddess who resides on Mount Kailäsa (kailäsa-väsiné). She is the beloved the mother (priyambikä), the beloved of Lord Çiva (hara-käntä and hara-ratä), and She who gives bliss to Lord Çiva (haränanda-pradäyiné), She is Lord Çiva's wife (hara-patné), Lord Çiva's beloved (hara-prétä), devoted to pleasing Lord Çiva (hara-toçaëa-tatparä), Lord Çiva's queen (hareçvaré), Goddess Saté (Saté), the nine Durgäs (nava-durgikä), stopped Dakña's yajïa (dakña-yajïa-harä), is Dakña's daughter (däkñé and dakña-kanyä), She is Lord Çiva's beloved (çivä), a great devotee of Lord Çiva (çiva-bhaktä), and Lord Çiva's companion (çivänvitä), the goddess who resides on Mount Kailäsa (kailäsäcala-väsiné), She is the daughter of Nägaräja (nagendra-kanyä), She is Lord Çiva's beloved (nélakaëöha-priyä), She is Lord Çiva's beloved (raudrä), She delights Lord Çiva (rudränanda-prakäçiné), She is Goddess Durgä (dhümrä), She is Lord Çiva's beloved (çaivä), She gives devotion to Lord Çiva (çiva-bhakti-dä), She is the true form of Çiva‘s Çakti (çiva-çakti-svarüpä), and She enjoys pastimes as the beloved who is half the body of Lord Çiva (çivärdhäìga-vihäriëé), She is the Goddess Gangä (gangä and gangä-jalamayé), She is said to be the Ganges (gangeritä), She of the mountains (parvatädhiniväsä), Her form is that of Durgä-devé (dugra-rüpä), when She sits on Lord Çiva's lap (çiva-kroòä), She is Goddess Pärvaté (haimavaté), She resides in Kailäsa (kailäsa-väsiné), She wears a garland of skulls (kapäla-mäliné), the beloved of Lord Çeña, king of snakes (nägendrä), the mother of the snakes (näga-mätä), Lord Çiva's life and soul (hara-präëä and çiva-präëä), and Lord Çiva's companion (çivänvitä), She is Draupadé (draupadé), who is dear to the Päëòavas (päëòava-priyä), She is Pärvaté (kailäsiné), Her form is that of Raudra's beloved (raudra-rüpä), She is the beloved of Lord Çiva, who wears a deerskin (kåñëasära-carma-dharä), She is dear to Kuvera's master, Lord Çiva (kuvereçvara-vallabhä), She is the other half of Lord Viñëu, Lord Çiva, and Lord Brahmä (brahma-viñëu-çivärdhäìga-häriëé). She is Lord Çiva's beloved (çaiva-çiàsapä).

     

    Bhaktajan, you are being foolish in continuing this debate. Radha is Saraswati; Saraswati is Radha. Radha is Parvati; Parvati is Radha. And, if Radha is Saraswati, then Krishna is Brahma. If Radha is Parvati, then Krishna is Shiva. Don't you see the truth that is right in front of your face?


  14. Bhaktajan, stop with this foolishness. Radhika takes the forms of Saraswati and Parvati. And, if Radhika is in the form of Parvati, Krishna is in the form of Shiva. If Radhika is in the form of Sarswati, Krishna is in the form of Brahma! Parvati, Saraswati, Shiva, and Brahma are not demigods. They are incarnations of Radha-Krishna! They are equal! Get off of your high horse and read the Radha Sahasranama. Realize what She is trying to tell you through Her names:

    Brahmä's wife (brahma-patné), Goddess Sarasvaté (sarasvaté), the beautiful wife of Lord Çiva (çambhu-käntä and sadäçiva-manoharä), the wife of Lord Çiva (çivä and durgä), and the wife of Lord Çiva who destroyed Kämadeva's body (kämäìga-häriëé), Goddess Pärvaté (himälaya-sutä, sarvä, pärvaté, girijä, and saté), She is Dakña's daughter (dakña-kanyä), Goddess Pärvaté (haimavaté), she who is dear to Çiva, Brahmä, and Viñëu (çiva-brahma-hari-priyä), Lord Çiva's wife (çaçi-çekharä), She is Goddess Durgä (anna-pürëä), mother of the universe (jagad-ambikä), She is the Goddess who resides on Mount Kailäsa (kailäsa-väsiné). She is the beloved the mother (priyambikä), the beloved of Lord Çiva (hara-käntä and hara-ratä), and She who gives bliss to Lord Çiva (haränanda-pradäyiné), She is Lord Çiva's wife (hara-patné), Lord Çiva's beloved (hara-prétä), devoted to pleasing Lord Çiva (hara-toçaëa-tatparä), Lord Çiva's queen (hareçvaré), Goddess Saté (Saté), the nine Durgäs (nava-durgikä), stopped Dakña's yajïa (dakña-yajïa-harä), is Dakña's daughter (däkñé and dakña-kanyä), She is Lord Çiva's beloved (çivä), a great devotee of Lord Çiva (çiva-bhaktä), and Lord Çiva's companion (çivänvitä), the goddess who resides on Mount Kailäsa (kailäsäcala-väsiné), She is the daughter of Nägaräja (nagendra-kanyä), She is Lord Çiva's beloved (nélakaëöha-priyä), She is Lord Çiva's beloved (raudrä), She delights Lord Çiva (rudränanda-prakäçiné), She is Goddess Durgä (dhümrä), She is Lord Çiva's beloved (çaivä), She gives devotion to Lord Çiva (çiva-bhakti-dä), She is the true form of Çiva‘s Çakti (çiva-çakti-svarüpä), and She enjoys pastimes as the beloved who is half the body of Lord Çiva (çivärdhäìga-vihäriëé), She is the Goddess Gangä (gangä and gangä-jalamayé), She is said to be the Ganges (gangeritä), She of the mountains (parvatädhiniväsä), Her form is that of Durgä-devé (dugra-rüpä), when She sits on Lord Çiva's lap (çiva-kroòä), She is Goddess Pärvaté (haimavaté), She resides in Kailäsa (kailäsa-väsiné), She wears a garland of skulls (kapäla-mäliné), the beloved of Lord Çeña, king of snakes (nägendrä), the mother of the snakes (näga-mätä), Lord Çiva's life and soul (hara-präëä and çiva-präëä), and Lord Çiva's companion (çivänvitä), She is Draupadé (draupadé), who is dear to the Päëòavas (päëòava-priyä), She is Pärvaté (kailäsiné), Her form is that of Raudra's beloved (raudra-rüpä), She is the beloved of Lord Çiva, who wears a deerskin (kåñëasära-carma-dharä), She is dear to Kuvera's master, Lord Çiva (kuvereçvara-vallabhä), She is the other half of Lord Viñëu, Lord Çiva, and Lord Brahmä (brahma-viñëu-çivärdhäìga-häriëé). She is Lord Çiva's beloved (çaiva-çiàsapä).


  15. Catholicism changes from country to country. Pictures of Mary, Jesus, etc... take on the nationality of the people they've been brought to. Church architecture is always trying to fit in with what the other buildings look like. Prayers are translated into popular languages. Books are written to make the new religion more 'familiar' to the common people. Nothing knew, really. Just a new country.


  16. I asked because the story seemed to have nothing to do with anything. But, of course, it means something to you that no one else understands.

     

    And, that verse proves nothing, Bhaktajan. Brahma didn't create Radha-Krishna, so how can you prove he CREATED (spiritually, since They are spiritual entities) Saraswati or Uma Maheshvara?

    Don't you realize that Radhika takes the form of all goddesses? Don't you realize that all the gods and goddesses are but forms of Radha-Krishna? Look at some of Her thousand names!:

    Brahmä's wife (brahma-patné), Goddess Sarasvaté (sarasvaté), the beautiful wife of Lord Çiva (çambhu-käntä and sadäçiva-manoharä), the wife of Lord Çiva (çivä and durgä), and the wife of Lord Çiva who destroyed Kämadeva's body (kämäìga-häriëé), Goddess Pärvaté (himälaya-sutä, sarvä, pärvaté, girijä, and saté), She is Dakña's daughter (dakña-kanyä), Goddess Pärvaté (haimavaté), she who is dear to Çiva, Brahmä, and Viñëu (çiva-brahma-hari-priyä), Lord Çiva's wife (çaçi-çekharä), She is Goddess Durgä (anna-pürëä), mother of the universe (jagad-ambikä), She is the Goddess who resides on Mount Kailäsa (kailäsa-väsiné). She is the beloved the mother (priyambikä), the beloved of Lord Çiva (hara-käntä and hara-ratä), and She who gives bliss to Lord Çiva (haränanda-pradäyiné), She is Lord Çiva's wife (hara-patné), Lord Çiva's beloved (hara-prétä), devoted to pleasing Lord Çiva (hara-toçaëa-tatparä), Lord Çiva's queen (hareçvaré), Goddess Saté (Saté), the nine Durgäs (nava-durgikä), stopped Dakña's yajïa (dakña-yajïa-harä), is Dakña's daughter (däkñé and dakña-kanyä), She is Lord Çiva's beloved (çivä), a great devotee of Lord Çiva (çiva-bhaktä), and Lord Çiva's companion (çivänvitä), the goddess who resides on Mount Kailäsa (kailäsäcala-väsiné), She is the daughter of Nägaräja (nagendra-kanyä), She is Lord Çiva's beloved (nélakaëöha-priyä), She is Lord Çiva's beloved (raudrä), She delights Lord Çiva (rudränanda-prakäçiné), She is Goddess Durgä (dhümrä), She is Lord Çiva's beloved (çaivä), She gives devotion to Lord Çiva (çiva-bhakti-dä), She is the true form of Çiva‘s Çakti (çiva-çakti-svarüpä), and She enjoys pastimes as the beloved who is half the body of Lord Çiva (çivärdhäìga-vihäriëé), She is the Goddess Gangä (gangä and gangä-jalamayé), She is said to be the Ganges (gangeritä), She of the mountains (parvatädhiniväsä), Her form is that of Durgä-devé (dugra-rüpä), when She sits on Lord Çiva's lap (çiva-kroòä), She is Goddess Pärvaté (haimavaté), She resides in Kailäsa (kailäsa-väsiné), She wears a garland of skulls (kapäla-mäliné), the beloved of Lord Çeña, king of snakes (nägendrä), the mother of the snakes (näga-mätä), Lord Çiva's life and soul (hara-präëä and çiva-präëä), and Lord Çiva's companion (çivänvitä), She is Draupadé (draupadé), who is dear to the Päëòavas (päëòava-priyä), She is Pärvaté (kailäsiné), Her form is that of Raudra's beloved (raudra-rüpä), She is the beloved of Lord Çiva, who wears a deerskin (kåñëasära-carma-dharä), She is dear to Kuvera's master, Lord Çiva (kuvereçvara-vallabhä), She is the other half of Lord Viñëu, Lord Çiva, and Lord Brahmä (brahma-viñëu-çivärdhäìga-häriëé). She is Lord Çiva's beloved (çaiva-çiàsapä).

     

    Don't you see? There are no 'demigoddesses'. They are all forms of Radha. You don't dispute that Lakshmi is a form of Radha, so why do you dispute that Parvati is, or that Saraswati is?
